Tutorial: Standing cable curl

Standing cable curl

Target: Biceps

Form tips:

• Stand up tall with your core and glutes activated – slouching will cause strain to your shoulders.
• Slow and controlled movements, using your biceps rather than momentum.
• Don't rest your arms at the top or bottom of the curl – keep moving to maintain tension in your biceps.

Modification – Standing dumbbell curl:

• If the machine is pulling you in on the downward movement, switch to dumbbells and a lighter weight to work on getting stronger with slow, controlled curls.
